In all honesty, I do not know a whole lot about the Man-Thing comic series. I chose this character because visually it looked like a challenge. I did a Google search and found a comic book cover where Man-Thing and the Hulk are battling it out; so, that seemed like a tacit prompting to create this HB custom. My biggest challenge was how to create a muddy, swampy, mossy look with paint. Before getting to that point, I disassembled the upper torso of the Hulkbuster armor and reassembled it around an existing Man-Thing minimate torso. I used my Exacto chisel to remove the parts of the armor that I envisioned being covered by the Man-Things’ mossy hide. For the paint, I started with a base coat of Classic Ivy spray paint. I then went in and highlighted different areas with Spring green and Christmas green acrylic paints. After all the green highlights were dry, I used a “dry brush” technique with a quarter inch chisel brush. For those of you unfamiliar with “dry brush,” you put paint on your brush (in this case, brown) and then brush most of it on your pallet before applying it with quick broad strokes. It just added a dirty look to the existing paint. The green highlights then appeared in a most random “natural” way. The other details I added were roots and little green shoots of vegetation. I love how this HB turned out, especially when viewed sitting next to the 1989 Batmobile Transformer HB that I recently completed. They are quite a contrast! For those of you who are counting, this makes Hulkbuster custom number 110. On to 111. Wish me luck!
